To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES W. SwAYzE, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at Canandaigua, in the county of Ontario and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wagon- Beds and Pin-SocketsvTherefor, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide a new and improved form of a wagon bed and pin socket therefor. objects of the invention will be fully illustrated in the drawings, described in the specification and pointed out in the claim at the end thereof.

In the drawings like reference numerals indicate like parts.

Reference numeral 1 indicates the sill of this sill'is the socket 5 having a body por-' tion 6 in which is the opening 7 surrounded by a flange 8 at the top, which flange eX-' tends inwardly from the body of the socket and has the forked projecting ends 9 and 1.0,

each of which has downturned ends 11 and r 12, which ends are adapted to engage in suit- Gopies of this patent may be obtained for .across the side of the sill. This and other able recesses in the sill 1 or they may be wedge shape and driven into the .wood. The forked projecting ends 9 and 10 are perforated to receive the bolts 13 and 14:, which bolts pass through the sill immediately back of the reinforcing strips 2 and 3. Extending outwardly from the body of the socket are the flanges 15 and 16, which flanges are adapted with the body to lie Through these flanges extend the bolts 17 and 18 which pass through the sill and hold the socket in place against it. T

I claim: .In a wagon the combination of a sill having reinforcing strips along the top and .bottom edge thereof, a socket having a body portionwith a flange extending horizontally 'around'the' top thereof and to one side thereof, said "flange ending in two forked projecting ends having downturned' terminal portions adapted to engage with said sill, a bolt passing through each projecting end between the downturned end and the portion atright angles to the first named' flange and being adapted to be fastened to the sill.
